not sure what this is about, i'm on wayshot 1.4.6, using wl-clipboard

interestingly it seems to be based on filesize? if i make the screen all black it does it no problem every time

Can you check if it still happens on main branch?

It turns out I think this is a wl-clipboard-rs issue not a wayshot issue, but I'll test master tomorrow, not at my pc right now sorry should've checked.

confirmed happening on master, definitely a wl-clipboard-rs issue, happens with it, their problem, but this does make me wish this didn't override the clipboard app

workaround for anybody else on nixos facing this, caution, generated by AI, but tested and seems to work, and I read through it and didn't see anyhting wrong with it

You can use wayshot - | wl-copy in a meanwhile as a workaround if you're using master branch build
